Despite Tuesday surgery, the Chargers cornerback plans to play Sunday.

Sources said Jammer will likely wear a cast against the Titans after breaking his hand Monday night in the season opener against the Raiders. He suffered the injury in the fourth quarter, one of two Chargers cornerbacks to exit early.

How it will affect the veteran remains to be seen. Physicality is a key element to Jammer's game. Coming off a down year, he had a strong 2012 debut with seven tackles and two pass deflections.

Shareece Wright was injured on the opening kickoff, leaving the team with just two healthy corners at game's end.

Wright sprained his ankle, a source said, and the severity is unclear with a second opinion forthcoming. Surgery is not expected to be required based on the preliminary evaluation.

The team will file an injury report after Wednesday's practice. Game statuses will be released Friday.

Wright, a 2011 third-round pick from USC, was slotted to be the Chargers' starting nickel corner over Marcus Gilchrist. Wright's offseason strides have been evident since the spring, capped by a strong preseason in which he had eight tackles, a sack, forced fumble and an interception returned 73 yards.

"We planned on playing Shareece in there," coach Norv Turner said. "Gilchrist came in and did a good job, and then when Jammer got hurt for a while, we actually put (safety Eric) Weddle down there in the slot, and he played really well."

If the Chargers make a roster move to add depth, a potential option awaits on the Chargers practice squad.

Greg Gatson, an undrafted rookie from Arkansas, gained experience in the preseason, starting the final two games with Gilchrist, Jammer and Wright out with hamstring injuries.
